With the Internet now a reality and the "Information Superhighway" coming on line soon, many individuals are receiving mail and files in many formats. It's anyones guess where the file is coming from and for all intent and purposes it does not matter UNLESS of course the file you receive MUST be in one form or another. This is what MUDWIN was designed for.

The primary purpose of MUDWIN is to convert Macintosh, Unix and DOS files End Of Record (EOR) markers to any of the other two types. Each file type terminates a record with a different character as follows:

Macintosh uses &H0D 	 -  a carriage return (CR)
Unix uses &H0A 	 - a linefeed(LF)
DOS uses &H0D0A	 - carriage retrun and linefeed (CRLF)

MUDWIN performs the same function as the DOS program MUDDOS, well almost the same function, in that the DOS version incorporates a few more features. If you have a need to convert ascii to ebcdic or ebcdic to ascii MUDWIN will not do that, the DOS version of MUD will. Take a look on Compuserve under the IBM UTILS & SYS forum under the FILE UTILS library for MUD. As time goes by I will add features to MUDWIN such as search and replace, ascii to ebcdic or ebcdic to ascii. Please let me know what you like or dislike and what additional capability you want.

Other Functions

Ever receive a file that was doublespaced?  MUDWIN will remove the extra lines. There are separate options for each file format. If you select an invalid format you will be informed and given a chance to select a different file.

The last feature allows the removal of unusual characters, those above decimal 128. There are many files that are moved from one platform or another and when the file is moved it may go through a file translator such as Apple's  'Apple File Exchange'. Depending on the settings used by these programs certain characters may or may not be translated. MUDWIN will remove the characters, it will not replace them with another character.

The use of MUDWIN is pretty straight forward. Simply select an input file and an output file. The text box is filled in via the common dialog box. If you enter the file names and the file name is invalid you will receive a warning. MUDWIN will not allow you to use the same name for both. This is to prevent overwriting the original file.

Once you select the input and output files, click on a conversion method and then select the START JOB button.

NOTE

To get the DOS version search on Compuserve for MUD (DOS version) in the IBM SYS & UTILS forum, GO CIS:IBMSYS. The DOS version has a commandline mode operation that allows you to use it in batch files.

DISCLAIMER

JWH Software cannot be held responsible for MUDWIN's misuse. If you convert a file and the file becomes corrupt please report this. I have tested this to the best of my ability but real world testing always uncovers the unusual.

Macintosh file end in a 0D hex character. Most DOS and Unix programs will have no need for this file type but every now and then you encounter them and MUDWIN will be able to convert it.
